Bonjour, Maria Vittoria!
Thanks for visiting planDisney with your celebratory question! It sounds as if you have a fabulous holiday planned. You must be so excited to ring in the New Year at Disneyland Paris and enjoy every moment of your
Castle Club accommodations at the recently reimagined
Disneyland Hotel. I won't be shy about saying I'm inspired by your plans and taking notes for future holiday ideas, so let's get started!
You will be mesmerized by the dazzling
New Year's Eve moments that await you. Disneyland Park is scheduled to stay open after midnight, until 1:00 a.m. so that you can welcome 2025 surrounded by pixie dust. As midnight approaches, a special countdown is planned with projections all around the park followed by an epic nighttime spectacular over Sleeping Beauty Castle.
If you prefer to take in the fireworks from the Disneyland Hotel Castel Club, you will be glad to know that the club has a fabulous view of Sleeping Beauty Castle and the music is piped into the club, too. It is great to have that option, though remember you will miss out on some of the projection displays that make any Disney nighttime display extra special in the park. Of course, you never know what surprises the Castle Club Cast Members might have in store for Guests so I recommend inquiring with them before deciding which location works best for you. The good news is you can't go wrong with either option and with the private lift to Disneyland Park, it is simple to navigate back and forth.
Now, here is one final tip for welcoming the new year in style during your stay! There is something special about nestling into the mahogany-paneled, velvet-backed booths in
Disneyland Hotel's Fleur de Lys Bar while enjoying one of their delicious
signature cocktails. While specially crafted for young ones, their alcohol-free Flacons Royaux, inspired by Disney Princesses, are worthy of an adult palette. I'm particularly intrigued by the Breuvage du Conteur (or Storyteller's Beverage) inspired by Belle, giving a nod to her adventure in the great wide somewhere featuring flavors from around the world including vanilla-almond rooibos infusion mixed with apricot, apple, and, my favorite, pineapple juice then topped off with passion fruit puree and floral rose water. It sounds dreamy! I don't know about you, Maria Vittoria, but I'm adding it to my list for the New Year vacation you've inspired me to take!
I hope this information is helpful as you count down the minutes till your holiday begins and that you enjoy your stay. May the year ahead be filled with many magical memories!
À très bientôt,
Shannon
